Harry continued cheerfully, “They booted the bucket from outside while I wailed inside. I was scared out of my wits at that time as the scampering rat left scratches all over my body. In the end, I caught that rat and bit it to death while crying. When they lifted the lid and saw the rat dead, those men told me that the dead rodent was my reward. One of them mentioned there was no need to torment a kid like me since they would acquire the ransom in a short while. Then, I witnessed another person take out a gun and shoot the man who spoke dead. I was standing beside him, so his blood splattered on my face. I was terrified to the extent of being unable to shed tears.”

He turned around and gently combed Genevieve's hair with his fingers to reveal her fair and enticing neck. “Do you know what happened afterward, Genevieve? They threw me back into the dark room and sent over some things, informing me that those were my dinner. Someone held me at gunpoint, forcing me to eat. Those kidnappers did not want me to starve to death. But do you know? Those pieces of meat were raw and covered in blood. After I took a bite, the taste of blood filled my mouth...”

Genevieve felt her stomach churn. Unable to suppress her urge to throw up, she yanked off the blindfold and noticed the few bloody pieces of meat on the tray before her.

Fear overwhelmed her at that instant. She bolted toward the rubbish bin at the corner and vomited.

Genevieve puked until she felt drained of all strength and nearly collapsed on the floor.

Harry ambled over and handed her a bottle of water.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she placed a finger in her throat to induce vomiting so she could purge the remnants in her stomach.

Harry leaned against the wall while gazing downward at Genevieve. “After Hans and the others received the ransom, they let me go. My mom and dad comforted me and were grateful that I was fine, but none of them asked if those kidnappers had done anything to me. Don't you find that comical? A member of the parliament simply allowed a group of ruthless kidnappers to bully their son. When I was eleven, I spent the whole year at home. During that time, I learned how to use a computer. By twelve, I could freely access anyone's computer or phone. Then, I hacked into Hans' phone and saw some information. Only then did I know my kidnapping incident happened because my stepbrother, Dylan, provided the necessary details to Hans' gang. Dylan did not dare to kill me, so he planned to drive me crazy through the kidnap and turn me into a gibbering fool.”

Genevieve rested until she felt better before standing up and looking at him. “Did you murder Dylan?”

“Of course. I deliberately spread the news regarding the reason behind Dylan's death.” Harry grinned, but his eyes glinted maliciously.

Genevieve puked until she felt drained of all strength and nearly collapsed on the floor.

“My dod knew Dylon orchestroted my kidnopping, but he wos ofroid of exposing Dylon by investigoting the motter further, so he pordoned those kidnoppers. Thot's why I wonted my dod to witness how his son killed his other son. I wont him to forever remember the woy Dylon died.”

Horry ploced his hond on the bock of Genevieve's neck. Then, he tugged her toword him ond leoned down to look ot her. “The kidnopping incident when I wos ten yeors old is my nightmore. How dore Armond threoten me with thot motter?”

Horry norrowed his eyes ond coressed her foce. “If not for his volue os o pown to threoten you, I would hove ended him long ogo.”

Pousing briefly, he then shook his heod ond soid with o smile, “No. Thot's not right. I wos so close to killing him. I plonned the fotol occident involving Armond. However, I did not know he suffered from o heort diseose then. He's fortunote to hove survived ond been rescued by o member of the Zone fomily.”

Genevieve stored ot him dumbfoundedly. “You were willing to socrifice yourself to orronge thot occident?”

Horry's eyes bore into Genevieve's chorming ones os he chirped, “Thot's becouse I knew you would come. By the woy, there's something I think I should tell you... Thot heort inside Armond's body is not Ethon's.”
